wednesday's doc appt...

thankfully, it wasn't the asshole neurologist i saw last time that told me to tape my mouth shut to lose weight when i went to followup with a neurologist on wednesday - dr. salanova is much more understanding and has a bedside manner with her patients that doesn't make you want to slap the shit out of her. of course, one more thing about going to see docs at the IU Neurology lab (besides not always seeing the same doc) is that we get to teach the young docs a bit - it's not just one doc asking you questions, it's four in the room gathering data on you. so, in the morning i'm going to get some blood drawn for a variety of tests, primarily a Tegretol level to make sure i'm not overdosing on it. Perhaps that's the reason i've been so freakin exhausted this past week - usually, after a seizure, i need a day or two to sleep it off, but it's been 8 days now, and i still just want to do nothing but sleep.

*yawn*

brain damage...

so, tuesday i took a little trip to the grocery store, where i proceeded to have a seizure. spent most of that day at st. francis south, then they transferred me to st. francis beech grove, where i spent tuesday night and most of wednesday, before being discharged. tegretol level was low, probably due to my being sick a few days prior, in addition to having lowered the med level a while back when i seemed to be having side effects from it. *sigh*

tuesday i had 4 seizures - one at the grocery, and 3 more at the hospital...subsequently, i've been exhausted, sleeping most of the time weds, thurs, fri, sat, and now sunday...*yawn*...amazing how exhausting this shit can be...
